I built this a couple of year's ago,I converted it to right hand drive and converted the dash as well as it was left hand drive,if it was the australian kit it would of made it a lot easier but I like a challenge.
The sleeper is from the Canepa Kenworth but I filled the side window's and moulded all the join lines and made the opening bigger between the cab and the sleeper for the driver to step through.
The fuel tank's join's have been filled and now they look like they are one peice,I decided to paint them the same colour as the prime mover for a different look.
The rear guards are after market and the mudflaps are scatched made, I used pin heads to simulate the bolt head's to place them on there,the bug deflcter is scratch made as are the antenna's on top of the mirror arm's I used guitar string for them.
The trailer is also from the kit but I had to scratch build a complete tri axle set up as I did not like the kits tandem set up,after market guard's were used as well and storage locker's are scratched built as well.
The whole thing is finished in candy blue and silver pinstriping and bare metal foil on the trailer to compliment the finish.
Regards Tony.
